Simon Says Stamp SNOWFLAKE TAGS Wafer Dies sssd111901 Fun and Festive zoom image
RESERVE Simon Says Clear Stamps TINY WORDS CHRISTMAS sss101893 Fun and Festive zoom image

I decided to create some mini 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 inch cards using these dies and stamps. They are perfect tiny note to give with a holiday gift! I cut each tag from watercolor paper, then inked them up with Distress Oxides. Then I stamped a tiny sentiment onto each one using Archival Jet Black ink. I inlaid silver flakes cut from glitter paper into each tag then covered each one with a white flake and coordinating drop of Nuvo drops. The backgrounds were created with silver ink and the Diagonal Stripes die.

    Wow, each card is the same but it’s different. They are all tags & they all have the same snowflakes but that’s where it changes. You used a different color for each background & a different colored dot for the middle of each snowflake. I love it! I am going to try doing that with my snowflake punch. Thanks for showing us your pretty, colorful cards & for giving us the chance to win something.
